America won the 37th Ryder Cup in emphatic style at Valhalla, Kentucky over the weekend, claiming their first win in nine years by 16 1/2 to 11 1/2. Team US led from start to finish, and in reality, never looked like surrendering their advantage. Europe played catchup over the three days and went into the final day’s play two points behind and needing to win 7 of the singles games to draw and retain the trophy.

As the talismanic Anthony Kim crushed Sergio Garcia, five and four, in the first game it never looked like happening and the American Ryder Cup rookies, continued where they left off as they dominated the final afternoon’s play.

The only beacon of light for Europe came from the one player whose selection had been criticised - Ian Poulter.  Poults played like a man possessed, showing aggression, focus and determination; much of which was sadly lacking across the rest of the European team.

As the recriminations begin; poor leadership from Faldo, unsporting crowd behaviour and even Poults being body checked by Kim, there is no getting away from the fact that over the three days, the best team won!

Congratulations to Team US!  We’ll see you again at a wet and windy Cetlic Manor,Wales in two year’s time.
